3.Nxe4 (Vienna Game: Falkbeer Defence) White is temporarily a pawn down.

It attempts to maintain a pawn at e5 after White plays f4, but it happens to give White the run of the board in the process. The original idea behind the Vienna Game was to play a delayed King's Gambit with f4 (the Vienna Gambit), but in modern play White often plays more quietly (for example, by fianchettoing his king's bishop with g3 and Bg2). White's second move is less common than 2.Nf3, and is also more recent. For now, Black is a pawn up, but White may just have something else up his sleeve too.īlack can also choose to forget about d5 for the time being:ģ.Nc6 transposes back to the Max Lange Defence.ģ.d6 is a timid move. The Vienna Game is an opening in chess that begins with the moves. After 3.Nxe4 Black has eliminated two of the attackers of d5 with one stroke, and will proceed to regain the piece by 4.d5, grabbing a large chunk of the centre as he does so.

This is the fork trick common to several openings.

This prevents Black from breaking open the centre, or does it? The late Alexander Alekhine, world champion in the 1930s, recommends: White has nailed down Black's d-pawn by controlling d5 with three pieces. Opening name: Vienna Game Stanley Variation
